Today was the day as Iain and Ruby was getting married. Iain, Jack, Charlie, Finlay and Josh was getting ready for the wedding wearing suits whilst Ruby, Penny, Anna, Duffy and Colette was getting ready.
Ruby was wearing a wedding dress with flowers going down the side and wearing pump shoes as Anna smiled and said" Ruby you look beautiful." Ruby said" I've got butterflies in my stomach" when Penny said" when I got married I had butterflies in my stomach" as Penny hugged her daughter.
Josh knocked on the front door as Colette opened it and said" Ruby is ready for you" as Ruby walked into the hallway and smiled. Josh smiled back and said" come on your carriage awaits" as they got in the wedding car to go to the church.
The wedding car arrived outside the church as Josh smiled and said" ready to get married" as Ruby smiled and said" let's get this show on the road."
The wedding music started playing as Ruby walked down the wedding aisle holding her dads arm as Ruby let go of her dads arm when they got to the front of the church standing next to Iain.
Father brown started speaking" Welcome, and thank you all for joining us for this joyous occasion. Together, we are gathered here to witness a truly special ceremony: the union of Iain and Ruby before God.
Iain and Ruby , today we celebrate the power of your love and the strength of your bond. Before we begin, take a moment to look around at the many friendly faces before you. Know that all are here to offer love, support, and encouragement as you embark on this incredible journey together.
May this ceremony provide you with wonderful memories to look back on and treasure for the rest of your days.
Iain and Ruby , as you stand here today before God , realise that you are preparing to celebrate one of life's greatest gifts, the depths of which you have only begun to explore. Your level of love and commitment is something that many seek, but not everyone finds. The bond you share is a rarity in this world, and its fruits more valuable than any precious stone or metal.
Marriage, of course, is more than a formal exchange of rings. It is a sacred and solemn promise to one another that no matter what, you're in this together. Life is full of surprises – both positive and negative. By nature, it's impossible to know what is around the next bend. However, with a trusted partner by your side, you may take comfort in the unknown. Whatever storms may come, you will weather them together. That is the beauty of love: not only does it cradle us when we are feeling weak and tired, it creates a solid foundation on which we can always rely.
Henceforth, your lives will become permanently intertwined. The union you form today is built to withstand any and all challenges. Through sorrow and joy, through failure and success, through despair and triumph, your bond will persevere – buoyed by the everlasting love you share. With the vows exchanged today, you will both finalise this promise and begin life anew, together.
I will now invite the Groom and Bride to exchange their vows.
Iain and Ruby , you have prepared vows of commitment to share with one another.
Iain, would you like to go first?
Iain: Ruby , today I take you to be my Wife. As we join our lives together, I vow to be supportive, caring, and honest with you always. I promise to hold you close, to respect you fully, and to love you deeply. As your companion, your partner, and your best friend, I promise to stay by your side through thick and thin. I love you with all my heart, and I plan to remind you of that every day, from this day forward.
"whenever you're ready Ruby"
Ruby: Iain, today I take you to be my Husband. As we join our lives together, I vow to be supportive, caring, and honest with you always. I promise to cherish you daily, to respect you fully, and to love you deeply. As your companion, your partner, and your best friend, I promise to stay by your side through thick and thin. I love you with all my heart, and I plan to remind you of that every day, from this day forward.
Iain and Ruby , you will now hold hands.
Iain, do you take Ruby as your Wife and your companion? Do you promise to share her laughter during the good times and wipe her tears during the bad, from this day forward?
Iain: I Do
Minister: Ruby , do you take Iain as your Husband and companion? Do you promise to share his laughter during the good times and wipe his tears during the bad, from this day forward?
Ruby : I Do
Minister: Let us proceed.
The wedding ring is a symbol of the unending power of love between two beings. Its circular shape has no beginning and no end, representing a boundless spiritual connection. The rings should be worn proudly as a symbol of the commitment between you and your spouse. Even when you find yourselves apart, your rings will provide a powerful reminder of the eternal love you share.
Please repeat after me:
With this ring, I, Iain, commit my love to you, Ruby for all time, giving you all that I am and all that I will be. Please accept it as a symbol of my love as Iain slipped a golden wedding ring onto Ruby's left middle finger
With this ring, I, Ruby , commit my love to you, Iain, for all time, giving you all that I am and all that I will be. Please accept it as a symbol of my love as Ruby slipped a golden wedding ring onto Iain's left middle finger
Iain, you may now kiss the Bride
Iain and Ruby , may you enjoy a lifetime of sunrises and sunsets together. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to present, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Dean!
At the wedding reception:
Josh stood up and said" For as long as we both can remember, Ruby's mom and I always knew that she was destined for great things. She is a smart girl, talented, focused, and hardworking. But happiness? That is not something that can be easily guaranteed.
Ruby was always accomplishing amazing things, even as a young girl. But that was not everything to her mother and myself. We also wanted her to be happy. That was the most important thing to us, that our daughter would find happiness in life. Because success without happiness does not mean very much.
When Ruby met Iain, happiness started to seep into her life. It was like she was seeing everything in brighter colours. She smiled more and we knew how much this guy meant to her. To find happiness can be very difficult and my wife and I are both very grateful and happy that these two were able to find each other."
Iain stood up and said" So I wrote a little something for you might be wondering why I am reading this in front of a room full of people then. Why not read this in a room with just the two of us? But since today is a celebration of our love, I thought what other way to celebrate this love than to talk about it in a room full of the people that we both love?
Ruby, you look beautiful tonight. I cannot believe that I am yours and that you are mine, but I am so happy for it. Since we have been together, you have made me the happiest man on Earth, and today made me even happier. I cannot wait to embark on the rest of our life together. I love you so much also When our eyes first met, I already knew that you were my absolute dream come true. Your very smile lights up the sky, I am so happy to call you mine.
After the wedding speeches were done Iain and Ruby took their first dance as they swayed to the music. Iain looked at his wife and smiled saying" I love you Mrs Dean" whilst Ruby smiled and said" I love you too Mr Dean."
